Control switches at home remotely using a smartphone/tablet.

What caught my eye was this demo booth that Belkin has set up to provide a preview and hands-on experience of some of the home automation and networking products that it will be introducing into Singapore towards the end of this year.

These include WeMo, which was announced at this year’s CES 2012 at Las Vegas, the @TV, which provides a new way to watch, record and experience television content, as well as the AC1200 DB Wi-Fi Dual-Band AC+ Gigabit Router.

These Wi-Fi enabled gadgets allow you to use your iPhone or iPad to remotely switch on/off your wall power outlets from outside your homes.

The @TV can be controlled using both iOS devices and Android devices when viewing or recording television content.
